    Hello All! Been lurking here for a while and finally have a question of my own...

    I've come accross this watch but the owner doesn't remember where exactly he got it...

    Case is about 48mm - the serials come up as an appx. 1910 movement and case; "Sav. C. 53 19lig. H6"

    Does anyone know any more about it? I can't seem to find any watch with a similar serrated bezel...

    Thanks!

    The words
    "But the owner doesn't remember where exactly he got it....."

    Are very clear warnings that all is not well with the watch. It is a pocket watch movement, modified into a wristwatch with the wrong dial and case. BEWARE!

    Thanks Master Mark! Those were my thoughts exactly - and since I can't even find a watch for sale anywhere that looks remotely like it... DANG!
